Still cant update over air - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Is everyone here been able to do a software update over the air?
Mine still says
Access to update service is provided to users in order in which they request it.
What freaking request? Lol how do I do a request.. its been 1 month that I get this message I even reset my phone.. btw im all stock!
Is anyone else having this problem? Is it normal? I know the update is minor with some bug fixes and new radio.. but I do need that new radio.
Thanks

If you're stock unrooted, there's no way around that message. It's weird that it's been that long though. You could try dialing *#*#2432546#*#* then check again.

Upgrade it using Samsung kies. You can do it on demand any time.

Tell her to suffer and stop bothering you until she lets you root it.
I'm jp I can't think of any extra steps to take if you have already done a factory reset.

SetCPU update superuser problems

I just wanted to check if anyone else is having issues with the newest SetCPU update? I'm getting superuser permission notifications like every 5 seconds and they've just been filling up the su log.
I've never had this problem before, no other app is doing it, and I've tried wiping the data for superuser and SetCPU. I looked at previous threads about this issue, but everyone suggests turning off superuser notifications. That's not the answer, as that's just ignoring the underlying problem. Any thoughts?

Looks like others on the market are having the same issue. I'll just sit tight.

I'm having the same issue. Not sure what the problem is.
I had the same issue after the update, I disabled my profiles I set and it went away. I guess that's causing the superuser issue.

I have the same problem. Ended up turning off notifications in su. Have to wait for fix for now

Update just went through. No issues here
I had the same issue. I was on FC05 when I initially updated to the newest. Had to uninstall.
Setcpu got updated on market and new update fixes the su problem...

I updated soon as the update came up and was getting annoyed by the permission pop ups. I just contacted the developer and told em. He told me to turn off notifications till he comes up with a fix. Which he did pretty quickly! Anyways what I'm trying to say is b4 coming to xda about it why not contact the developer directly to notify them

Phone woke me to update, is this official jelly?

So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

Same here. I downloaded it, not thinking that it may hose me, but then I postponed the install, not wanting to potentially lose root and/or custom recovery.

from what Ive read, root is intact but the update replaces the custom recovery with stock recovery. (correct me if Im wrong, but I read this on this forum)
New
Yea I saw the update to, unfortunately I had to titanium stop them due to my ROM
Been reading all day every time you reboot it reverts back to stock recovery.I think there's already a fix but im gonna wait till someone cooks a Rom with new firmware that have the fix baked right in like raisins in oatmeal cookies

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.
Thats it!

I'm unrooted, no custom stock, kernel, anything, and I got this update today.
Still 4.0.4, only differences that I could tell were in the web browser and in the pull-down menu from the top of the screen. There's a brightness slider there now, and the brightness options in the browser are gone.

I tried deleting them using Astro. I got a "file delete error". I assume it is because I do not have root.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

random Red flashing boarder on i747 after update over the air to 4.1

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.

Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was due to user error.
I had strick mode on for some reason.
Glad to know it was something so little.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Nvmnd it didnt completely fix the problem.
It doesnt do it nearly as much, but its still there. I will redo from kies.

Wifi calling not working after 4.1.2 update?

My wife and I both have TMO Galaxy S3's. We relied on our unlimited wifi calling minutes before the update. After the update, wifi calling doesn't work on either of our phones. As soon as we dial a number and hit call, it immediately hangs up and ends the call. Anyone else encounter this problem? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Stock I presume? Does it give you any errors or anything? As a last resort, you try a factory reset?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
How did you update? Are you rooted? Using a custom rom or kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Stock, not rooted or custom kernel or anything. Just a regular OTA update. I was going to do a factory reset if no one else was having the problem, but was trying to avoid that option
I think factory reset is your best option. At least you can back everything up first though.
